Billie S. — Bigelow Cooper was John Bond in "The Awakening of John Bond." Alverna V.— Yes ; "The Bandit of Point Loma" was taken in California. Virginia Chester was Constance in "When Uncle Sam Was Young." I. R. S., Cleveland. — Gene Gauntier is the maid with her hands clasped, on page 47, February. Marian Cooper was Nancy Tucker in "A Battle in the Virginia Hills." Flossie C. Y. explains that "This is the only name my parents were generous enough to give me" ; hence, other Flossies must not account her a copyist. Have heard nothing about Lottie Pickford. Ethel Grandin is with the Bison. Doc, Eddy. — Riley Chamberlin was Gray in "A Will and a Way." 'Most all films are passed by The National Board of Censorship. The Kid, L. S. — That film is too old. We haven't the cast. Surely; send a stamped, addressed envelope, and we will answer you promptly. C. D., Binghamton, rises to remark that he dislikes to see a player point and gesture as if to say : "I will go there," just as if everybody did not know he was going where he went. Sobeit. Either those players who do that are afllicted with poverty of expression, or they think that we onlookers are very stupid. W. S., Toronto. — "The Kerry Gow" was taken in Ireland on the good old Irish sod. Sometimes *the crowds are hired for the occasion, and at other times it is not necessary to hire them — they come when you dont want them. We believe it is the British-American Film Co. E. H. Calvert was the monk in "The Shadow of the Cross." Dorothy D. — You were right. We wrote to Champion and asked who the tramp was in "The Tramp's Strategy," but they failed to tell us. Very often the Independent company have no casts on hand of the plays. Jessalyn Van Trump was the girl in "Dawn and Passion." Alice Joyce was leading woman in "In the Power of the Blacklegs." William Duncan was Billy in "Billy's Birthday Present." Harry H. — Francelia Billington was Florette in "A Life in the Balance." William West was Fealy. Lottie Briscoe was opposite Arthur Johnson in "John Arthur's Trust." J. J. Clark played opposite Gene Gauntier in "The Wives of Jamestown." Take your pick, Alice Joyce, Jane Wolfe, Neva Gerber, Francelia Billington, Lillian Christy, and others; which do you refer to? C. Jones, St. Louis, sends us a newspaper clipping, saying that there are 483,000 people who visit Moving Pictures in St. Louis each week. Flower Evelyn Grayce. — Kathlyn Williams and Harold Lockwood had the leads in that Selig. Adrienne Kroell was the girl in "The Pink Opera-Cloak." Why all the signatures on your letter? How many of you are there? Centipede. — Absolutely wrong. We deny the allegation and defy the alligator. Ormi Hawley — yes, she is very popular. What, you dont like her walk? Nor Alice Joyce's either? You might write them to try Delsarte. Now, how many really graceful walkers are there in this world? Dont expect too much. Todd, Bois. — Ruth Stonehouse is not a Mason, but we'll bet that you are an Odd Fellow. Haven't you heard that a pun is the lowest form of wit? We cant please all. If giddy girls keep up the pace, levity and not gravity will prevail in this department. But hold ! there's business before the house. C. B., Brooklyn. — Dont know the name of the company who took the picture of Mead's Shoe Store, on February 10, 1913. Perhaps some one can tell us. Dix. — George Stanley was the prospector in "The Angel of the Desert." Earle Metcalf was Sneaky Jim, and Edwin Carewe was John Clancy in "The Regeneration of Nancy." Betty L. — Leo Delaney had the lead in "The Money Kings." See March issue, page 94, for the contest that appeared in February. Thanks for the clipping. We dont file letters to this department. We would have to hire a storage warehouse. Elena C. G. — Thomas Moore played opposite Alice Joyce in "A Race with Time." J. B. C. — Bill Thompson was Burton in "Bar K Foreman" (Lubin). Courtenay Foote was never with Selig. Lillian Christy was the girl in "The Fugitive." We dont happen to know how many Moving Picture theaters there are in Washington; never counted them, and there is no record that we know of. See our August, 1912, issue for the difference between Licensed and Independents. It is a long article. R. F., Brooklyn. — "A Business Buccaneer" was taken in New York, and "The Redemption" was taken at Glendale. Alice Hollister was Lovie. H. M. E.— Thanks for your kind words. Sorry we haven't room to print your letter. Tan shoes take black in the pictures. Yellow and black always come out dark. R. T., El Paso. — You refer to Blanche Sweet and Henry Walthall. Dorothy M.— Essanay have no studio in New York. Whitney Raymond is with their Eastern company, at Chicago. J. R.— Robert Grey was Dan in "The Regeneration of Worthless Dan." Marv Fuller was Jean in "More Precious Than Gold." Julia Swayne Gordon was the Duchess in "In the Days of Terror."
